LiveJournal Sold to Russian Firm SUP

Reuters - SAN FRANCISCO
"LiveJournal, the personal Web publishing service that jump-started blogging in Russia, has been sold by its U.S. owner to a Russian business partner, which will operate it independently, the companies said on Sunday.

Six Apart Ltd said it sold the blog community site for undisclosed terms to SUP (according to Russia Information Center for 30 million USD, more), a Russian-focused Internet media company led by an American and British duo that has expanded LiveJournal's Russian business over the past year.

The free, ad-supported blog site encourages users to keep online diaries they share and discuss with friends. It counts 14.3 million blog accounts and roughly 20 million visitors a month. Its writers publish more than 150,000 new posts a day ..." more

Is this the end of the Russian policy "Blogs are not important enough to care about them? and / or 'somewhere, angry people need a hideaway to let off steam"?

The Russian Federation delivers - after US - the second highest number of accounts to LiveJournal total 14.3 Mio. accounts . Most popular countries for LiveJournal (Accounts) per 3-Dec-2007

- United States - 3,069,035

comScore Stats on Online Asia Pacific

comScore is leaving home. After announcing and releasing research data on some Europe countries (e.g. Germany), comScore released this morning in Tokyo their first comprehensive review of Internet behavior covering 10 countries in the Asia-Pacific region.



From ComScore's release:
... The comScore World Metrix study reveals that in May there were nearly 284 million people age 15 or older who accessed the Internet from either a home or work computer in the region. This represents 10 percent of the Asian-Pacific population 15 years of age and older.

- South Korea boasts the greatest rate of Internet usage, with 65 percent of its population using the Internet in May (home and work locations, age 15 or older), followed by Australia (62 percent), New Zealand (60 percent) and Hong Kong (59 percent). India has the lowest penetration at just 3 percent.

- China clearly has the largest online population with 91,5 million people (age 15 or older accessing the Internet from either a home or a work computer in May 2007), but this translates to a penetration of only 9 percent of the country’s population. Japan has 53,7 million users (49 percent penetration) and South Korea 26,3 million (65 percent penetration). Combined, these 3 countries account for 60 percent of the region’s Internet population.

- South Korea has the most active online population, using the Internet an average of 17,4 days per person in May, and dedicating 31,2 hours to viewing 4.546 pages during the month – twice as many pages as the regional average of 2.171 pages per user.

Will Online Overtake Television News Within Five Years

A study from Harris Interactive on newspapers and online sites, released last week, says so ... but is it important whether this will be in three, five, ten years or never?

Even today, many people believe it’s already easier to get news online than to read a newspaper. The study predicts, that in Germany and UK TV will be still the number on source in five years

The lowest percentage of adults who indicate that major daily newspapers will be their source for news and information is in Great Britain and Italy (4% each) while the highest percentage is among German adults with 12% - not so comfortable either.

Zeitungsverlage und Fish4 bauen ihre Fuehrung im UK-Jobmarkt aus

Fish4 Jobs ist unbestritten Marktführer im UK-Jobmarkt. Die Gesellschafter von Fish4 sind vier regionale Zeitungsgruppen, darunter Trinity Mirror . Trinity hat jetzt wieder zugeschlagen. Gaapweb (der führende Nischenanbieter im Bereich Finanz- und Buchhaltungsjobs) geht für 10,45 Mio. UKP an Trinity Mirror (und wenn die Ergebnisse stimmen, noch einmal 2,6 Mio.).

Trinity's Wettbewerber DMGT's hatte sich eine Woche vorher die Spezialjobbörsen Officerecruit und Top-consultant für 4,1 Mio. einverleibt.

Damit ist ziemlich eindeutig. Die UK-Zeitungsverlage haben sich das Job-Business zurückerobert und der Launch eigener regionaler oder Nischen-Jobsites (Medical jobs (emedcareers.co.uk), Secretarial jobs (secrecruit.co.uk) stabilisieren das Wachstum und streuen das Risiko.

Deutsche Zeitungsverlage pflegen da doch eher ein gemächliches Tempo.


Disclosure:
Um tausend Ecken (und über Australien) herum bin ich verwandt mit Cliff Ollson (leider ohne jede finanzielle Beteiligung) und nun hat sich nach mehr Jahren mein Ratschlag an seinen Partner Mark Wainwright "die Braut zu putzen" dann doch gelohnt.

Und, wenn immer der Namen Jonathan Turpin auftaucht (dem GF von Fish4) erinnere ich mich an einen (ca. 14 jährigen) Jungen, der hoch intelligent, sehr ernst und mit großer Begeisterung an allen Computern herumspielte, die ich ihm in meiner damaligen Firma bieten konnte.
